How to make a homemade photo booth

Everyday snapshots of kids are adorable—eating dinner, going down the slide, falling asleep—but sometimes it's nice to have more "formal" portraits. My photographer friend Alpha helped me set up a homemade photo booth. As part of a three-part photography series sponsored by Canon, here's a simple tutorial...We chose a bright spot by the window and taped up a piece of fabric. (You could also use wrapping paper, vintage wallpaper or pretty bed sheets.) While Toby sat on a stool, we propped up a piece of poster board to help reflect light for crisper photos. Here are a few of the final results...You could try different fabrics or bring in cute toys and props, as well. So quick and easy! We had a really fun afternoon.

hello lovely Joanna! I think you should get Max to do a wedding photography recommendations post...from reading comments, so many of your readers are engaged etc and as a wedding photographer, i think it would be a great read :)xo

What a coincidence. I *JUST* posted an impromptu portrait session of my baby girl today. We were playing dressup and I quickly grabbed my camera for some candid shots. It turned out great. Please check them out!

I think this post might have been a bit more powerful had you taken the photos yourself. It is a fantastic idea for a background and lighting, but in the end the photos were shot by a professional photographer. (And I realize you're 8,000 months pregnant, so maybe next time...)

Tsis is great...I love the DIY projects. Keep in mind the that one of the biggest pieces is a the printer. I own a photo booth company and I use the Hiti P510s. You can pick it up for about $800. It's quick and fast and super reliable. Thanks for the great article. Photo Booth Rental State College PA
